This patch adds a new rate rounding algorithm for DPLL clocks on the
OMAP2/3 architecture.
For a desired DPLL target rate, there may be several
multiplier/divider (M, N) values which will generate a sufficiently
close rate. Lower N values result in greater power economy. However,
lower N values can cause the difference between the rounded rate and
the target rate ("rate error") to be larger than it would be with a
higher N. This can cause downstream devices to run more slowly than
they otherwise would.
This DPLL rate rounding algorithm:
- attempts to find the lowest possible N (DPLL divider) to reach the
target_rate (since, according to Richard Woodruff <r-woodruff@ti.com>,
lower N values save more power than higher N values).
- allows developers to set an upper bound on the error between the
rounded rate and the desired target rate ("rate tolerance"), so an
appropriate balance between rate fidelity and power savings can be
set. This maximum rate error tolerance is set via
omap2_set_dpll_rate_tolerance().
- never returns a rounded rate higher than the target rate.
The rate rounding algorithm caches the last rounded M, N, and rate
computation to avoid rounding the rate twice for each clk_set_rate()
call. (This patch does not yet implement set_rate for DPLLs; that
follows in a future patch.)
The algorithm trades execution speed for rate accuracy. It will find
the (M, N) set that results in the least rate error, within a
specified rate tolerance. It does this by evaluating each divider
setting - on OMAP3, this involves 128 steps. Another approach to DPLL
rate rounding would be to bail out as soon as a valid rate is found
within the rate tolerance, which would trade rate accuracy for
execution speed. Alternate implementations welcome.
This code is not yet used by the OMAP24XX DPLL clock, since it
is currently defined as a composite clock, fusing the DPLL M,N and the
M2 output divider. This patch also renames the existing OMAP24xx DPLL
programming functions to highlight that they program both the DPLL and
the DPLL's output multiplier.

This patch changes 24xx to use shared clock code and new register
access.
Note that patch adds some temporary OLD_CK defines to keep patch
more readable. These temporary defines will be removed in the next
patch. Also not all clocks are changed in this patch to limit the
size.
Also, the patch fixes few incorrect clock defines in clock24xx.h.

This patch moves clock.h to clock24xx.c to make room for
adding common clock code for 24xx and 34xx.
